<p>Britons should cut their consumption of red and processed meat to reduce the risk of bowel cancer, scientific experts are expected to recommend in a report.</p>
<p>The Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN) was asked by the Department of Health to review dietary advice on meat consumption as a source of iron.</p>
<p>In a draft report published in June 2009 the committee of independent experts said lower consumption of red and processed meat would probably reduce the risk of colorectal cancer.</p>
<p>The committee said: &#8220;Although the evidence is not conclusive, as a precaution, it may be advisable for intakes of red and processed meat not to increase above the current average (70g/day) and for high consumers of red and processed meat (100g/day or more) to reduce their intakes.&#8221;</p>
<p>A daily total of 70g is equivalent to about three rashers of bacon.</p>
<p>The Sunday Telegraph said the full report, to be published within days, was expected to echo the committee&#8217;s draft report.</p>
<p>A Department of Health spokeswoman said: &#8220;The DH committee of independent experts on nutrition will shortly publish their final report on iron and health.&#8221;</p>
<p>The World Cancer Research Fund already recommends people limit their intake of red meat, including pork, beef, lamb and goat, to 500g a week.</p>
<p>The fund also advises consumers to avoid too much processed meat, including hot dogs, ham, bacon and some sausages and burgers.</p>
